Abstract

Methods and systems are described for provisioning cloud-based database systems and performing decoupled maintenance. For example, conventional systems may rely on database management systems to provision and modify databases hosted by a service provider. However, for entities operating complex database systems with the need for highly customized cloud infrastructure, database management systems fail to provide the granular customization and the control necessary to create and service these systems. In contrast, the described solutions provide an improvement over conventional database management system architecture by providing direct communication between an entity and its cloud-based database systems via command line prompts or API calls, decoupling database system maintenance from database system provisioning process to increase the speed and granular customization of the database system. Moreover, the disclosed solution leverages machine learning to predict optimal database system provisioning and maintenance processes and resources.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A server system for provisioning and modifying database systems such that a database management system may be bypassed using a single line command prompt and an API call comprising:

one or more storage devices storing instructions;
and
one or more processors configured to execute the instructions for:
receiving, at a first point in time, a first request to provision a database system;
in response to receiving the first request, generating a single command line prompt command or a single API call to a service provider, wherein the service provider hosts the database system;
in response to the first request, determining, by querying a metadata repository, whether a first metadata associated with the database system exists;
based on determining whether the first metadata associated with the database system exists, generating database system resources;
in response to generating the database system resources, generating the database system;
in response to generating the database system, generating user access credentials;
storing, in the metadata repository, a second metadata associated with the database system;
receiving a second request to modify the database system, wherein the second request includes one or more modification parameters and the user access credentials, and wherein the second request is further received at a second point in time subsequent to the first point in time;
in response to the second request, determining a set of pre-determined modification protocols;
in response to the second request and based on the set of pre-determined modification protocols, determining whether to create a standby database system;
transmitting a third request, wherein the third request includes instructions for conducting an experiment on the database system based at least on the set of pre-determined modification protocols and by executing the one or more modification parameters;
and
modifying the database system based on the experiment.

A computer-implemented method for provisioning and modifying database systems such that a database management system may be bypassed using a single line command prompt and an API call comprising:

receiving, at a first point in time, a first request to provision a database system;
in response to receiving the first request, generating a single command line prompt command or a single API call to a service provider, wherein the service provider hosts the database system;
in response to the first request, determining, by querying a metadata repository, whether a first metadata associated with the database system exists;
based on determining whether the first metadata associated with the database system exists, generating database system resources;
in response to generating the database system resources, generating the database system;
in response to generating the database system, generating user access credentials;
storing, in the metadata repository, a second metadata associated with the database system;
receiving a second request to modify the database system, wherein the second request includes one or more modification parameters and the user access credentials, and wherein the second request is further received at a second point in time subsequent to the first point in time;
in response to the second request, determining a set of pre-determined modification protocols;
in response to the second request and based on the set of pre-determined modification protocols, determining whether to create a standby database system;
transmitting a third request, wherein the third request includes instructions for conducting an experiment on the database system based at least on the set of pre-determined modification protocols and by executing the one or more modification parameters;
and
modifying the database system based on the experiment.

10 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, storing instructions for provisioning and modifying database systems such that a database management system may be bypassed using a single line command prompt and an API call that when executed by one or more processors perform a method comprising:

receiving, at a first point in time, a first request to provision a database system;
in response to receiving the first request, generating a single command line prompt command or a single API call to a service provider, wherein the service provider hosts the database system;
in response to the first request, determining, by querying a metadata repository, whether a first metadata associated with the database system exists;
based on determining whether the first metadata associated with the database system exists, generating database system resources;
in response to generating the database system resources, generating the database system;
in response to generating the database system, generating user access credentials;
storing, in the metadata repository, a second metadata associated with the database system;
receiving a second request to modify the database system, wherein the second request includes one or more modification parameters and the user access credentials, and wherein the second request is further received at a second point in time subsequent to the first point in time;
in response to the second request, determining a set of pre-determined modification protocols;
in response to the second request and based on the set of pre-determined modification protocols, determining whether to create a standby database system;
transmitting a third request, wherein the third request includes instructions for conducting an experiment on the database system based at least on the set of pre-determined modification protocols and by executing the one or more modification parameters;
and
modifying the database system based on the experiment.
